Energy Efficiency: The Global Case for Efficiency Gains
|
 |
Document summary
The Credit Suisse report analyses global trends in energy efficiency, making the case that in the short to medium term, energy efficiency will be a key element in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
This report discusses the key drivers of energy efficiency, principally; sustained high energy prices, governmental policy responses aimed at reducing global warming, and countries seeking to increase their energy independence. A review of historic energy efficiency trends and achievements illustrates the pathway to lower energy intensity, particularly for emerging markets.
Comprehensive forecasts of global energy intensity through to 2030 are provided, demonstrating the potential greenhouse gas abatement that might be achieved from energy efficiency measures. These forecasts are broken down by sector, region, and some selected countries. The analysis of specific countries provides some detailed examples of policy responses to the challenge of reducing energy intensity.
